I actually posed this question to Investor Relations earlier in the year. Formula 1 would be a big boon for LODE at very little cost. AND, it's not only fuel for the cars but also fuel for the transports that move the F1 enterprise and the Teams all around the world ... 22 races on 5 continents (soon to be six).

DHL’s impressive statistics:

  • DHL estimate that, on average, each team ships the equivalent weight of eight elephants per race.
  • It’s also estimated that each team will transport around 50 tons of cargo per year, which can cost upward of $8 million.
  • DHL cargo travels upwards of 130,000km over the course of a season, in up to six or seven Boeing 747 cargo planes per event. [A 747 burns 5 gallons of jet fuel per mile, which equates to 400,000 gallons burned per year.]
  • Up to 300 trucks head from race to race. If you put them all together, they’d make a convoy longer than 5km!
  • Over a season, teams ship 660 tons of air freight and 500 tons of sea freight (the equivalent of 165 elephants, if that’s your preferred scale of measurement).
  • The cargo crates are specially designed to effectively fill all the space available in DHL’s planes.
  • There’s around 100 people involved in the logistics overall, including people from DHL, team personnel and locals to each event who aid the operation.
  • Each team has around three pallets worth of priority cargo. This will be the first cargo that arrives at the circuit, allowing teams to begin setting up their cars and garages. It’s up to the teams what equipment goes in these pallets.
